Chapter 195 Booty

Melisandre left anyway, at Clay's strong request.

Clay doesn't like to get along with this kind of woman at all, because these magicians are riddlers and are always unwilling to tell the truth, and Clay doesn't have the heart to guess what they are thinking.

Clay promised that Melisandre would no longer cooperate with the old gods, but only he knew how to implement it.

After the annoying emissary of R'hllor completely left the Great Wall, Clay devoted himself to the aftermath of the war beyond the Great Wall.

This battle actually yielded huge rewards. After defeating Mance Rayder's main force head-on, Clay's cavalry chased north for about a day, breaking up all the savage tribes with more than a thousand people.

Even for the savages who fled to the glacier valley on the west side, Clay sent hundreds of people to tentatively chase them. Unfortunately, due to the terrain, they lost their target.

But this is harmless. After all the battles were over, a statistical report was completely sent to Clay's desk.

"Hmm... We brought back nearly [-] women of the right age in total. Not bad... It seems that the age structure of the savages is very young."

Clay looked at the report. Of course, when he saw how many women had been captured, he was really surprised, because this number was indeed beyond his expectations.

The tens of thousands of people in the front, even with the troops, were divided into two groups, preparing to attack the East Watch and Shadow Tower, but they were taken by the Kray cavalry. Very good job in capturing prisoners.

But when Clay saw the male captives, the corner of his mouth twitched. This number was far less than the number of females. Clay even felt that his original order was probably a waste of expression. These guys had planned to do so long ago. Done.

"Master Clay, we have basically finished interrogating the leaders of the small tribe of savages. The people from the Bolton family are still doing well. After a few tricks, those stubborn guys kneel faster than anyone else."

Lord Glover's burly body was reclined in the chair opposite Clay, looking at the top of Clay's tent with a relaxed expression, holding a bottle of the Night's Watch's treasure that he had brought from Lord Commander Mormont in his hand.

Clay ignored Earl Glover's evil deeds. After the battle, it is very normal to relax. This is not a certain army in memory. The army of this era did not engage in robbery after the war. Well, Clay is already being harsh.

"Well... Those leaders, after the interrogation, are determined to be worthless, so I slaughtered them all, and then set them on fire, understand?"

"It's burned...why not dig a big hole and bury it all? It will save trouble."

Earl Glover didn't know what was going on in the north. In fact, the real purpose of Clay's coming up this time was actually only known to Robb Stark and Lord Commander Mormont.

For the vast majority of people in the North, the matter of the White Walkers is still a legend. Apart from serving as guides during the previous war, the Night Watchmen were strictly separated by the orders of Clay and Commander-in-Chief Mormont.

The purpose of doing this is to keep the matter of the White Walkers secret for a while longer. After all, after this battle, Clay has to lead the cavalry southward.

According to the news received not long ago, Rob Stark has led the infantry brigade to the south of Cailin Bay. After preparing to join the army of White Harbor, he will station in the Twin River City and wait for Clay's cavalry army to arrive.

Robb Stark said in the letter that he sent the Marquess of Bolton and the Earl of Seven to the Eagle's Nest City with a letter from his mother, hoping that Lysa Tully could send troops to help Rob Stark avenge .

After all, Eddard Stark was the adopted son of the Duke of Arryn, and to some extent he also had a great relationship with the valley. Rob Stark thought this time was the best chance to persuade the valley of Arryn to join the war.

For this action, Rob Stark did not discuss with Clay in advance at all. Although this letter is a consistent tone of discussion, the essence is actually a notice.

Clay can imagine that in Rob Stark's heart, he is already the king himself, and there must be many people who have instilled in his ears that the so-called king does not need anyone's approval to make decisions.

In fact, Clay had expected this kind of thing to happen a long time ago. He knew exactly what power would turn a person into, but he didn't expect that it would come so soon.

For Rob Stark's set of operations, if you simply stand on Rob Stark's point of view, you are actually doing the right thing. The general direction of contacting the Vale of Arryn is right, but the problem is, who is the person you sent? Who?

In the current valley, it is said that Lysa Tully supervised the country for little Robert Arryn, and managed to listen to the government behind the curtain, but in fact, Clay knew who had the real power.

Now send Lord Bolton to some guy with a narrow smile, well, very energetic, it's really you, Rob Stark.

In the first reaction of seeing this letter, Clay actually wanted to send someone south to find Rob Stark immediately and ask him to take back this stupid order, but just as he stood up, Clay thought about it and sat down again. went back.

He couldn't stop Robb Stark from doing it, because there was no reason.

What can Clay say?
But the situation in the Valley is not what you Rob Stark thought. Lysa Tully's love brain has long been emptied by someone, and it is impossible for Lysa Tully to agree to your request.

Or the person you sent is not suitable at all. Regardless of Earl Seven, Roose Bolton is not a good guy. It's just that your Stark family is too strong now, and the Bolton family is just holding back.

He might not even be convinced of your father, Ed Stark, who has already met the gods. It is really strange to be able to convince you, a brat.

Clay knew very well that if he hadn't held all the cavalry forces in the North, and his achievements on the battlefield were so brilliant that he kept pressing Roose Bolton from changing his mind, he would have jumped by now.

The last reason is his own selfishness. If he wants to help the Stark family with all his strength, then in this war, the northern border is almost invincible.

And if this is the case, if Clay does something in the future, he will encounter too much resistance. After all, a leader who leads his power to the peak will definitely be recognized by most people, even if many things are not done by the leader.

The crown of invisibility has already been worn, so Clay is not allowed to turn back. The Manderly-Targaryen dynasty will definitely not allow a split north and the riverlands to appear on the kingdom's territory.

After dispelling his thoughts, Clay refocused his attention on the summary report in front of him. Theoretically speaking, he, Clay Mandalay and the 5000 people under him had completed the mission on the Great Wall.

According to the previous agreement, in fact, what Clay should do at this time is to go south immediately, take the king's road, and chase the infantry army led by King Rob Stark.

But the interesting thing is that, including Earl Glover, none of Clay's subordinates mentioned this matter, because they had a more important matter to do before this.

The distribution of loot.

The northern army has always had such a tradition. Usually, the spoils won't be handed over to the top leaders, such as the former Ed Stark and the current Rob Stark for unified distribution.

They think that how many things they can knock down is their own ability, and they don't have a bronze star relationship with other guys who don't contribute.

This is why Clay has such great prestige in the army. In fact, he only led troops to win a few battles, but the problem is that he always wins, and what he grabs are all good things.

But this time, their 5000 people achieved even greater results. Tens of thousands of captives were left there, and most of them were women who interested the lords very much. Can you not be anxious?

Although due to various reasons, the appearance of most wildling women is not very good, but there are always good-looking ones, right?Why is it impossible to share it with me, right?

The women in the family are dissatisfied with themselves and take another one back?Nonsense, this was rewarded to me by Master Clay Mandalay, do you understand the spoils?

"Are you all staring at these women? Tell me, how much do you want? Give me a number, and let me see the appetite of you guys."

Clay glanced at the slightly embarrassing Earl Glover with a half-smile. This guy came to him today and showed him this report. He was actually reminding himself cryptically:

Boss, brothers have been greedy for a long time, how to divide, you can give me a word...

These northern cavalry who followed Clay all the way absolutely believed that Clay would give them what they wanted. Clay was never stingy with the distribution of spoils. As the young master of White Harbor, he really didn't like these pots and jars.

Glancing at the grinning Earl Glover, Clay joked:

"Are you sure I'll give them all to you now, not to mention whether their waists can hold up, and I'll start right now? Are you afraid of someone with a strong temper who will bite off your lifeblood?"

Looking at the Earl of Deepwood Castle whose face suddenly became stiff, Clay added the last sentence:
"The trophies I took down don't have that kind of thing. If something is really lost, I don't have any new ones for you to replace..."

Thinking about the condition of the captives I went to check before, and the hateful eyes of those women towards me who was dressed luxuriously, Earl Glover was a little chilled afterward. Although he was a nobleman, he was still under strict control at home.

Suddenly there is an opportunity to eat wild food, and as a great nobleman, he must be the first to pick it. Can't pick a good-looking one out of tens of thousands of captives?Itching in my heart, that's for sure, after all, this matter... But it was endorsed by Clay Mandler.

"Okay, Lord Clay, we will not fight their ideas for the time being, after all... it is more important, but my lord, when they are convinced, you see..."

Clay scolded with a smile:
"Hurry up, get out, you're indispensable, and then it will be delivered directly to your home. What do you think? I'll choose the strongest one for you, and I promise to cure your back pain."

……

The savage captives refused to obey, and even attacked the food delivery soldiers. One soldier was dragged in. If the people next to him hadn't reacted quickly, his life would have been confessed inside.

Clay's handling of this matter is very simple. The soldiers under him, um... are all good, those who were beaten, those who rescued people, all of them. If you capture the things of the savages, pick them yourself. Don't be too greedy. Take whatever you want.

As for the small areas where the troubles occurred, it is even simpler, don't they not like to eat?All right, Clay gave an order to immediately cut off the confession.

If you want to eat, you can hand over everything you do yourself, and Clay will give you weapons, just your rotten wooden sticks, in front of all the savages, kill all the troublemakers, if you dare to live, this You can't eat rice.

It wasn't that Clay was cruel, nor was he a psychopath himself. In troubled times, heavy codes were used. He had to settle down on the Great Wall as soon as possible. Moreover, these tens of thousands of savage women were an important bargaining chip he used to buy the northern cavalry.

Although they all belong to their respective families, they have received more favors. With the straight-hearted personality of people from the northern border, they must be grateful to Clay from the bottom of their hearts.

Clay never asked them to be completely on his side when he stood on the opposite side of the northern border in the future. After all, his wife and children were all in the fiefdoms of other big families.

Clay just asked them not to fight against him, just stay in his house honestly, then Clay's efforts were not in vain.

"Commander Mormont, the situation on the Great Wall is actually not complicated now. The savages have not dared to appear near the Great Wall for at least half a year, so I will not stay with you any longer. There are still many things for me to do in the south. "

In the command tower, Clay stood by the window, staring at the snowflakes flying outside, with his back turned to Jeor Mormont who was sitting in front of the fireplace, and said a few words.

This time, killing Mance Rayder and defeating the [-] army that the Savage claims to have completely made the Savage feel pain in his heart. Some time ago, Jon Snow took people out of the Great Wall to inspect a circle. Within a hundred miles, a No shadow of the wildlings could be seen.

It can only be said that the effect is outstanding, the defensive pressure of the Great Wall suddenly weakened, and the supplementary soldiers who emptied the dungeons also arrived at the Great Wall one after another, returning a wave of blood to the broken Night Watch Corps.

Now, at least the normal inspection of the ghost forest can be guaranteed, and there are still manpower left to cut down the trees that are too close to the Great Wall.

Previously, the Night Watchman Corps was short of manpower and the wildlings were active. The Ghost Forest had already moved a considerable distance towards the Great Wall, which was actually very unfavorable for the Great Wall's defense.

According to the records of the Night Watch Corps, when the Night Watch Corps was at its peak, standing on the top of the Great Wall, one could only vaguely see the outline of the Ghost Forest.

Unlike now, it has almost grown to the foot of the Great Wall.

But now, the manpower is complete, so the eternal truth begins to play a role.

To be safe (get rich), cut down (roll) trees first...
